Update R version running on ubuntu

[amiraple]

Hello!

I currently use ubuntu as a linux subsystem on my windows machine.

I run a conda environment (qiime2) which uses R. Recently, I realized that one of the R packages used by qiime2 was built under a newer version compared to what I currently have:

Warning message:package ‘optparse’ was built under R version 4.2.3
R version 4.2.2 (2022-10-31)

I updated my R version based on the instructions here

:

But when I check the R --version it defaults back to the older version:

(qiime2-amplicon-2023.9) angelica@angelica_xps15:~/GQ_fastq/qiime_gq$ R --versionR version 4.2.2 (2022-10-31) -- "Innocent and Trusting"

Platform: x86_64-conda-linux-gnu (64-bit)

I had installed the new R version outside of the conda environment with no issue:

(base) angelica@angelica_xps15:~/GQ_fastq/qiime_gq$ R --version
R version 4.4.2 (2024-10-31) -- "Pile of Leaves"
Copyright (C) 2024 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Any advice on what to do?

Best,
Angelica
